Jason just wrote a great post about a new goal to raise some cash for something actually useful. I know, shocking idea. He writes:

"Tim Ferriss, author of The Four Hour Work Week has started a new site with the goal of raising $1M for education in the month of October. He’s calling on bloggers everywhere to use their powers for good and I’ve jumped on board because let’s face it, we’re getting our asses kicked by the rest of the world in education and if we don’t do something soon the US is going to be in a world of hurt in the next 10 to 20 years. I set up a pledge page that you can use to pick some of the great DonorsChoose charities out there and will be adding more and more as time permits."

For more info check out LitLiberation, DonorsChoose and the Bloggers Challenge. We're trying to help via a Metroblogging pledge page so if you can check it out.
